   There is one well in my district which is situated in Ballyshall. It is called Tubberáran. It is visited by people on the last day of April to cure headaches. It is called Tubberáran, because a man named Áran is believed to have dug it. When the people go to the well to get cured, they stick pins in the thrunk of a tree nearby, and they also leave old rags there in order to get cured. This well has cured a great lot of people. It has cured a man named Peter Nevin.
